Don't have Daphne get out of the room in the first place! Sorry, Daphne is my favorite character ever, and that was my biggest pet peeve about Frasier, especially when she left the room and never returned for the rest of the episode. She always did leave with a good line, however.Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-47213780814472570002012-07-15T21:54:27.785-07:002012-07-15T21:54:27.785-07:00Mark Twain on starting to write a magazine story -...Mark Twain on starting to write a magazine story - The Extraordinary Twins - and writing a novel, Puddinhead Wilson, instead:<br /><br />http://www.mtwain.com/Those_Extraordinary_Twins/0.htmlPhillip Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498595633633248863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-37792504601958932462012-07-15T16:55:20.889-07:002012-07-15T16:55:20.889-07:00I have applied that to songwriting, only to end up...I have applied that to songwriting, only to end up with scraps of paper filled with all manner of brilliance and crapulence in stacks and envelopes all over the house, decades of them. heh Can't face winnowing them down to getting maybe 5 decent songs.

Maybe I'll find a use for it later. But if I end up not using it, I somehow don't feel so bad about it being banished to the outtakes, and this process gives me a little extra perspective that I wouldn't have if I just deleted it.<br /><br />I do all my plotting while driving (PWD™). I put music on repeat and drive (I have to drive a lot of miles for work). Sometimes I use my digital voice recorder or the equivalent app to take a few notes, but mainly I'm running logic tests, on whether it's reasonable for my characters to act the way they're acting.<br /><br />Lately I use the app Lisgo on my iPhone to read aloud my latest oeuvre*, and I find myself catching many more typos and mistakes that way. So when I'm working in the garden, cleaning the laundry room, or painting the shed, I'm actually "writing".<br /><br />*(To use Lisgo, you have to also use the app "Pocket" and you must post your writing to a publicly available blogging site--but I find the text-to-speech algorithm to be way better than many of the other options, including Kindle's, which can be used in the same way with pdf's of your writing.)Madame Ducherynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-38356534858750392162012-07-15T12:25:38.552-07:002012-07-15T12:25:38.552-07:00Can't wait to read your ending.

In exchange he seems to enjoy a lot more creative control than other showrunners.<br />Do you think that we will see similar deals in the near future?jcsnoreply@blogger.com
